Part Twelve - Heads-Up

When it's down to two, the game transforms. Hand values invert toward high cards and position: any ace or king is strong, and most hands are above average, so you fold far less and raise far more. From the button you raise a huge range; in the big blind you defend very wide and three-bet aggressively. Position is everything - in position you barrel opponents off pots even with air. And you adjust hard to the opponent: punish a passive player who limps and checks, and call down wider against a hyper-aggressive one who bluffs too much. Over-folding is the cardinal heads-up sin. These seven hands drill the relentless, position-driven aggression that wins heads-up.
